Of a total population in the colony of 772,719, there are 226 deaf and dumb, 453 blind, 2675 lunatics, 105 idiots, 113 epileptics, 392 paralytics, 271 crippled and ; deformed, and 412 deaf only. A public meeting will be held at Patea West Road Board office on Saturday next, at 3 o'clock, to consider the question of combatting the spread of noxious weeds. i The Observer says it is not in Auckland alone that the officering of the Eighth Contingent has excited severe comment. A lad of eighteen was taken out of a life insurance office in Wellington, where he was earning 15s per week, and was made a lieutenant in the Eighth at a higher salary per day than he bad been drawing for a week. Needless to say, he knew nothing about military work, and had never worn a uniform outside a fancy dress ball. Of such are the majority of our Contingent j officers. i Sporting men, as well as his other many f friends, will greatly regret to hear of the death of Mr R. Conn op, the owner of Torowai, which occurred on Friday even- | ing, after a very short illness. Mr Connop, who was staying at tbe lioyal Hotel, took ill on the night of Wednesday. At the outset his illness was not looked upon ac of a very serious nature, but he gradually grew worse, and died within twenty-four hours from taking to Mb bed. Mrs Gonnop was at once wired for. The deoeased was a well-known horse owner, and resided of late years in the Hawke's Bay district. In proof of the saying that troubles never come singly, it may be mentioned that deceased lost a child a few days ago and hi* brother is at present in the hospital suffering from a broken leg. The Taranaki Herald reports that at the Harbonr Board meeting on Tuesday the Treasury advised that the land revenue for the quarter ended December 31st last was L 690 2s Id. The Secretary of the Board informed the meeting that this amount was L 652 12s 7d less than the corresponding quarter for last year, and L 1706 8s lid less for the year 1901 than the year 1900. The increase in valuation only yielded £1699, so that tbe net loss was £7. The income from tbe trust account has averaged for the last five years £600 per annum less than the expenditure. Mr King said he naticed the balance of the crust account was £2000 less than it was that time last year. The Secretary stated that the harbour rates were coming in worse than he had ever known them.
